The new goal that I have now are to complete my house. I also bought the last two bundles of zinc and other buildings material. I also bought a few pics of planks and pay for some sticks.

Givedirectly is doing a great job for me and my family.I have been living in an old house and don't have any money to send my children to school.

The most recent transfer that I just received I'm about to complete my house and decided to focus on a business. I furthermore pay for a music player and a DVD player for my children.

As for now, I do not have any new goal. It is my plan that my previous goal set be achieved, and that is to have my new house completed. I was unable to do all of these building works because I did not have the finance to do them. Farming is the only source of livelihood for my family and I. I am so happy and greatful to GiveDirectly for this wonderful opportunity. I am going to make a maximum use of it to better the living conditions of my household.

By GiveDirectly giving us the money and leaving us with the decision to decide how to spend it is something I have never seen happened since I was born. Again, reaching to the hard to reach communities like mine to help the poor is highly commendable. In addition, GiveDirectly does well by going to every house in the village to making sure that all eligible and deserving households is enrolled. Finally in my opinion, I have not seen anything that the organization is not doing well.

I was able to buy planks and nails with my first transfer. With the second transfer I hired a builder to build my house. I was also able to pay my children's school fees with portion of my second transfer. The most recent money I received was spent on purchasing cement and sylin tile. This transfer came just at the time when two of my sons were about to be put out of school for their balance fees. I was able to pay all of their balance school fees from the transfer I recently received.

I was on my farm working and decided late in the afternoon to get back home. While on my way a message notification came to my phone and I stopped to check which notification it was. To my surprise it was the mobile money transfer from GiveDirectly I have eagerly been waiting for. I was really glad on seeing this and when I got home and told the news to my wife, it was like heaven has come down.

Through the transfer, I was able to buy zinc and pay the hold year school fees for my children. Since I received the transfer, that there has been a lot of happiness in the home. The children are happy that they are back in school.

I was able to buy zinc with portion of my transfer and pay school fees for my children who are still in primary school. Farming is what I depend on as a source of livelihood. Getting the finance to pay my children's school fees has been a challenge for me because the farm did not yield last farming season. Due to low yield I have also been unable to do any development.
